We show that non-Markovian effects of the reservoirs can be used as a resource to extract
work from an Otto cycle. The state transformation under non-Markovian dynamics is …

We show that the entropy production in small open systems coupled to environments made
of extended baths is predominantly caused by the displacement of the environment from …

We study the dynamics of a quantum system whose interaction with an environment is
described by a collision model, ie, the open dynamics is modeled through sequences of …

Understanding the entropy production of systems strongly coupled to thermal baths is a core
problem of both quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics. While many techniques …

The extension of quantum thermodynamics to situations that go beyond standard
thermodynamic settings comprises an important and interesting aspect of its development …

We study a limit cycle of a quantum Otto engine whose every cycle consists of two finite-time
quantum isochoric (heating or cooling) processes and two quantum adiabatic work …

Quantum thermodynamics explores novel thermodynamic phenomena that emerge when
interactions between macroscopic systems and microscopic quantum ones go into action …

We study the relationship between (non-) Markovian evolutions, established correlations,
and the entropy production rate. We consider a system qubit in contact with a thermal bath …

The second law of classical equilibrium thermodynamics, based on the positivity of entropy
production, asserts that any process occurs only in a direction that some information may be …

Squeezing of quantum fluctuation plays an important role in fundamental quantum physics
and has marked influence on ultrasensitive detection. We propose a scheme to generate …
